Mine was into woodworking before he retired. Basement still has woodworking tools that probably won't be used again. (Course, I have 'stuff' I'm just not ready to part with.)
Since he retired he's chief cook and bottle washer. Does all of the grocery shopping and cooking [which is great because I'm trying to lose weight]. Also does the laundry which I fold. Bought him kitchen tools for Christmas.
Oh, lest I forget, he has a Bernina 820 and the Bernina quilting frame! The 440 QE is mine as is the Janome and the Juki. His next project is a quilt.

My husband has lots of toys including OUR Harley. He is also a finish carpenter so he has lots of tools. He never complains when I buy fabric or toys because I never complain when he goes to Home Depot. Fair is fair.

My DH has every electrical supply available and a load of tools. Of course he did the electrial wiring on our house. He is very handy to have around. But his favorite hobby is crossword and work puzzles. Three newspapers a day, thata about 2 yards of fabric a week. Not a bad tradeoff.
